Riding high on the increasing penetration of smartphones, Celkon Impex Private Limited, a Hyderabad-based dual-SIM mobile handset manufacturer, is aiming at doubling its revenues this financial year from Rs 600 crore last year, according to chairman and managing director Y Guru.

Announcing the launch of the first set of smartphones under its entry-level ‘Campus’ series on Tuesday, he said the company was considering the title sponsorship for the tri-series played in the West Indies last month and the recently-concluded India-Zimbabwe one-day series as a launch pad to enter the African markets shortly.

“We will continue to sponsor cricketing events organised in the African countries  While we have already started exporting mobile devices to Sri Lanka, we are planning to enter Bangladesh and the African countries by the end of this month,” he said.

As part of its Campus series, Celkon today launched two smartphone models A63 and A60 on the Android Jelly Bean platform priced at Rs 4,499 and Rs 5, 199 respectively.
